Components of the Windows 10 to Windows 11 Upgrade via ISO Worklet

This Worklet comprises several components. The parameters isoPath, argumentList, and setupDir are mandatory. They assist in determining the path to the Windows 11 ISO, the install arguments passed during installation, and the location for the Windows 11 ISO and setup files respectively. 

The Worklet includes functions like `Get-Win11Eligibility and Get-Win11Upgrade. These play major roles in verifying the device's eligibility for being upgraded to Windows 11 and in executing the Windows update process.

How does the Windows 10 to Windows 11 Upgrade via ISO Worklet work?

The Worklet starts by determining if the device is already operating on Windows 11 or Windows 10. In the case of Windows 11, it marks the device as compliant and does not initiate the remediation code. If the device is on Windows 10, it checks whether the device meets the minimum requirements of Windows 11 using the Get-Win11Eligibility function. 

Post verification, if the device is eligible, it initiates the Get-Win11Upgrade function. This function copies the Windows 11 ISO from the specified network drive to the device, mounts the ISO, extracts the contents, and finally initiates the upgrade.

By utilizing this Worklet, administrators can expect a smooth and unattended upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Notably, the Worklet performs an automatic reboot after the completion of the upgrade. Post the reboot, during the next login action, the user will be presented with the OOBE screen before accessing their desktop. At the same time, a copy of the previous Windows installation is stored under 'C:\Windows.old', providing a recovery option if needed.
